Tonight’s NBA Picks

Philadelphia @ Washington

The Trends –

• Philly are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Washington.
• Philly are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
• Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Washington.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss 

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/- 

Picks against the spread

Philly will be debuting two #1 picks tonight while their 150 Million Dollar man is on a minutes limit at 15-20. Washington at home were 30-11 last season, with 5 of those losses coming in the first month of play.

The better Morris twin remains out which will be the only concern for the Wizards with Philly packing a lot of depth. There were almost two upsets on Day 1 of the 2017/18 season, the home record for Washington might be something to throw away here.

Charlotte @ Detroit

The Trends –

• Over is 20-6-1 in the last 27 meetings in Detroit.
• Over is 19-7-1 in the last 27 meetings.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/-

Picks against the spread

Charlotte was a shoe in for this game if Batum was playing fit, now it looks for like a toss of the coin. Drummond and Howard will cancel each other out in impact while Kemba will be the best player on the court. Worth the risk to take the Hornets although with both teams unsure of lineups, the Under looks attractive.

Brooklyn @ Indiana

The Trends –

• Over is 20-5-1 in the last 26 meetings in Indiana.
• Brooklyn are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
• Over is 36-16-1 in the last 53 meetings.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss 

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/- 

Picks against the spread

Brooklyn will be hoping D’Angelo Russell will be able to fill the void Lopez has left. Along with Crabbe and Lin, the Nets will be hoping to take down the Pacers with the three-ball.

Indiana will be hoping to move on from PG13 very quickly. Turner is now the franchise player with some help from veterans Oladipo and Collison which provides some extra comfort in this selection.

Miami @ Orlando

The Trends –

• Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
• Over is 10-3-1 in the last 14 meetings in Orlando.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/-

Picks against the spread

Remember this same match up at the beginning of the season last year? Ibaka was debuting and the Magic struggled to get a score while the Heat went on a rampage. I don’t see that much difference this time around.

Milwaukee @ Boston

The Trends –

• Over is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings in Boston.
• Over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings.
• Milwaukee are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Boston.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss 

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/- 

Picks against the spread

There is no guide as to how the Celtics will be feeling after last night. Seeing their free agent signing Hayward going down for ‘likely’ the season did spur them on to almost steal the game in Cleveland. However, it could be a hard task to back it up again against a team on the rise.

New Orleans @ Memphis

The Trends –

• Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Memphis.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/-

Picks against the spread

I think we are all undecided on where both these teams are positioned. The Two Tower approach for the Pelicans is yet to pay off and could be a game-style best suited to 10 years ago. Memphis haven’t exactly fared much better with lame free agent signings in Tyreke Evans and Ben McLemore.

Atlanta @ Dallas

The Trends –

• Atlanta are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
• Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
• Atlanta are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Dallas.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss 

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/- 

Picks against the spread

Cant see any future where Dallas don’t win this game. Also, not sure who will score for the Hawks. Like the Under.

Denver @ Utah

The Trends –

• Denver are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Utah.
• Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Utah.
• Under is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/-

Picks against the spread

Along with the Bucks, Denver are the new buzz team of the league and will get to test their new look on the road to Utah. On paper, Jokic and Millsap look like a tough task but since the days of Malone and Stockton, the road trip to Utah is never an easy feat.

Minnesota @ San Antonio

The Trends –

• Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Antonio.
• Minnesota are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss 

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/- 

Picks against the spread

For two years straight, we could be over-rating the Wolves and under-rating the Spurs. Even with Kawhi on the sidelines, you can’t doubt Spurs basketball.

Portland @ Phoenix

The Trends –

• Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Phoenix.
• Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/-

Picks against the spread

Another game where a missing key player could be the difference. CJ McCollum is serving a suspension from preseason that does cause some concern. Both teams love to score, take the Over here.

Houston @ Sacramento

The Trends –

• To come..

2016/17 Season – Win/Loss

2016/17 Season – Season Points +/-

Picks against the spread

The Rockets went toe to toe with the Warriors and came out on top. Would be against God’s good will for the Rockets to not back it up the next night in Sacramento.
